Gotta say, i'm very impressed with this set's turn around time so soon after Veers and Snows. I must admit I was anticipating June-ish. At least there wont be that much of a time lapse between both factions new units.
Well done FFG.
Edited by GalahaxI just noticed that and you beat me to it. ? Also they have a release date of May 24th posted.

Seconded.
Need.
This is a most welcome surprise! I'm excited to get Leia and a small band of fleet troopers recruited to our forces!
I'm surprised FFG did'nt put Han and the commandos before Leia so Han would be in stores right as the movie is coming out.

I'm assuming it's more because of a game design need than a thematic inclusion. Leia fills a hole that will benefit the rebels and change up the meta more than Han will. The commandos also aren't corp units, and they wanted to get counterparts out to the stormtroopers out.
Question is, will Leia and the fleet troopers come out at the same time and will Europe get them first.

Rumor is that there was a shipping error. Would be nice if FFG had an explanation.

I still don't feel there's a true meta in this game. Every game is different with different players play styles. Terrain is always different along with objective, condition and deployment. If you saw worlds and the response from the communities that the finals were dull because everyone had the same list, it's because of a meta. That's what makes this game great, no true meta.
Yay! Brilliant news. I am finally motivated to do some laundry ?
Ok grown ups....admit it, who will get Vader and line up some Fleet Troopers infront of him?

That would be a cool diorama. Build a little hallway, setup the camera at the end of it at level. Yeah that'd be a cool piece actually.

Hmm, I think you've made Fleet troopers jump to the top of my list of rebels that need painted.
I am equal parts ...
Awesome ...
Does the painting ever end ...
Awesome ...
I finally have to deal with painting white ...
I'm very impressed. With the original dates, I had actually bought a proxy (Leia from WotC) to use in the mean-time, but I haven't even had time to base her yet!
Now just gimmie those Commandos!

I want a FFG to make a custom Star Destroyer/CR90 Mat for ship to ship boarding combat, maybe have it come with a mat specific objectives/deployment card

Love the idea, probably more like a special Imperial Assault map board (special release with a couple of scenarios.... you hearing this FFG?).

Yes and even cooler when you realise that that scene Vader made his badass entrance with his life support turned off (no lights on)

I did look up the blueprints for the tantive IV, I just haven’t gotten around to shaping any spare cardboard for the rooms. But yeah, it’s a personal goal until FFG comes up with the goods. 
That aside, the mats they’ve made are gorgeous enough that I would want a professional product of that quality.
I just want to see that MPL for the fleet troopers. Still hoping it won't be an exhaust weapon.
